Michael Jordan’s gambling history revisited.

[Juggy777]

I’m hoping everyone here knows who Michael Jordan is and in ESPN latest show his gambling history was revisited, and he admitted to gambling but with a twist something which I wasn’t expecting at all. According to the show Jordan indeed indulged in gambling but he only wagered on his own golf playing skills, and it’s pertinent to note that he ended up wagering big bets something you don’t usually bet according to the former NBA commissioner. Furthermore Jordan also admitted his love for blackjack, but it isn’t clear if he visited any online casinos to play blackjack or no, but what do you’ll think is there a possibility that he visits online crypto casinos to play blackjack as a hidden user?.

“I never bet on games. I only bet on myself, and that was golf,” Jordan said. “Do I like to play blackjack? Yeah, I like playing blackjack. There's no laws with that. The league did call me, and they asked me questions about it, and I told them exactly what was happening.”

“Michael was betting on his golf game -- larger numbers than you or I might bet if we played golf together,” Stern said. “But given his earnings and the like, it just never reached epic, crisis levels in my view.”

All kind of gambling activities are pretty common among pro athletes and they are staking quite big, because they have the money You have footballers like Wayne Rooney, who admitted to have been addicted, you have pro poker players that gambling away their winnings with sportsbetting and you have all sorts of athletes making private side bets. These are young people with lots of money and the bookmakers/casinos best friends I guess

Pretty sure Jordan also had some bets on NBA or other sports, he just isn't "allowed" to talk about it.

Im pretty sure he bet on other sports also, probably also the NBA but he wont talk about it.
I bet he still plays Blackjack and gambles away his money, but its not something you go around telling other people, how much money you are making/losing gambling.

And to his defense, he didn't know the people he bet with, some of them has history with the law and in the show he did become a witness (forget the name of the guy). It also did say that he went to Atlantic City after the game with New York Knicks with his father.

It's well documented that Jordan is a gambler, but as far as visiting online casino? No, I doubt that, they still go play the traditional way and I doubt that online casino that time is already on the mainstream, it was early to late 90's. Heck the first time I used internet is in 1997 so perhaps that time only few people are into online gambling even celebrities and high profile athletes.

of course it is possible that he was a hidden user in some casino, but we could not know that, if he does not confess, do we?

With Jordan's love of playing blackjack, I bet he already visited an online casino to play online blackjack.  Though it is obvious that he loves to play it in a land-based casino but as I said, with him being hooked in playing blackjack, there is a possibility that during his idle moments on his travels, the possibility of Jordan visiting an online casino is very huge. He has the money and all the means to play blackjack in an online casino.

“I only bet on myself,” Jordan said. “That was golf. Do I like to play blackjack, yeah I like to play blackjack. There’s no laws on that.”

David Stern, (RIP) the commissioner cleared Jordan about it. Maybe he was treated different because he was the star that time or they didn't find anything wrong about him wagering money in golf. Michael Jordan is very competitive like Kobe so perhaps his mentality of betting in golf as sort of really being competitive of him. Just imagine Jordan beating you in a tournament and keep rubbing it on to you whenever he see you. Online gambling back then is very different so we don't know if he ventures on online gambling to play black jack or not. Plus he has the money, like what they said in the interview, $10k bet is just like $10 for him.

There's been plenty of stories of Jordan playing on the tables for a lot of money, and that he tips extremely shitty. Seemingly a lot of athletes that earn absurd amounts of money seem to pick up gambling. Floyd Mayweather is notorious for gambling and posts pictures of himself on social media feeding slot machines $100 bills each spin.

It's apparently costed him a lot - https://www.sportscasting.com/floyd-mayweathers-gambling-habits-have-cost-him-millions/

I'm overwhelmed about Michael Jordan  playing Blackjack as one of my favorite card game besides poker. Many celebrities both in sports and entertainment are playing poker and it's very rare to see a black jack fan among them. Besides that, MJ acknowledged that BJ is a skilled card game since he only gamble on sports that requires his own skills.

Anyone can provide article about Michael Jackson playing Blackjack? I already search but I can't verify if that is legit. I just need it to post in my official black thread here in forum.

Netflix is currently running the series "The Last Dance" (the last 2 episodes should be released soon). The series gives a glimpse behind the rise and fall of the Chicago Bulls, where Jordan played for a long time and was of course mainly responsible for the many titles he won. An article summarizing the series states the following:

Jordan was a gambling addict, spending nights in casinos and even betting against his own teammates on which suitcase would appear first on the airport roll tape - of course he bribed the ground staff beforehand.

If he truly was an addict I don't believe that he was only betting on his own golf playing skills. I didn't watch the series till now, maybe his gambling addiction is explained in detail there?

[danherbias07]

He had the money so it is not a problem for him.
Also, he will not get broke since money is still coming in up until now.

He likes blackjack but I don't think he is into online casinos.
This players wants something better which is exciting and that means playing it at live casinos where rich people are also coming in.

[Pmalek]

Nothing new, I have heard about Jordan's gambling addictions many times before. I don't think golf was the only sport he bet on. Someone who knows basketball as well as he does probably bet on some NBA matches occasionally. He can't do it himself but who can stop him giving money to a close friend or relative who will make the bets in his name?

, but what do you’ll think is there a possibility that he visits online crypto casinos to play blackjack as a hidden user?.

If he really involved in Casino using crypto?then this is one big thing to celebrate because if once player here discover where he is playing then i am sure more bettors will enter the site and this is another good news for crypto market as well.

Having one of the most popular sportsman living is playing crypto casino is such a legacy we must be proud and will remain helping our market here to advertise the use and advantage of crypto currency that using fiat.

Why wouldn't he? It's online, nobody knows who you are and you play with other complete strangers without having paparazzi all over you.

As a celebrity, intimacy is probably something you drool for - this brings not only privacy of his true identity but also connects him to others from around the world and is able to do and say normal stuff without having the fear of being judged for it. If I was a celebrity, I'd do it. Especially as lots of people tend to judge you over your casino habits & enjoyment.

If you think about it.
That was all a big question for us, isn't?

[rhomelmabini]

I thought he could be an ambassador for responsible gambling or he already does? Playing online? I guess he did, we never know for sure, not these days to play physically on casinos where social media is seeing everything about your life, yeah playing online could be done by Jordan, there's big good online casinos out there to play with. I've heard it many times about his gambling habit and also the love of the sports golf.

If he truly was an addict I don't believe that he was only betting on his own golf playing skills. I didn't watch the series till now, maybe his gambling addiction is explained in detail there?

The series focuses on the 1997-98 season for Chicago -- Jordan's last year with the Bulls. The first few episodes largely went backward and established Jordan's background as a player while setting the stage for the eventual breakup of the Bulls. They also shed some light on Jordan's head coach, Phil Jackson, and key teammates Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman.

But I think maybe a glimpse of the story of his gambling addiction could be cover up on that series too. I haven't watched it but I guess it's better to let the series finished first before I would do.

Well, I will never forget this famous or a legend of a basketball game. A famous player like Michael Jordan may possibly play gambling through online casinos with a hidden identity probably that is to reduce his boredom or stress, either way, can be his reason but the amount he bets would definitely be really big compare to our bets because they have money. If Michael Jordan will reveal his identity when playing in an online casino's most gamblers will intend to play with him because of the money at stake that they perhaps take home.

[YuginKadoya]

I don't want to block the possibility for him visiting online casino's but maybe in this pandemic time he is now visiting an online blackjack site, but it is still not confirmed that he really is in love with blackjack yet but he got a lot in things financially when it comes on playing gambling so the thing is even though he is a well-known celebrity he can sure gambling on the public when he likes it.

And I guess he is 100% into skill-based gambling that is why he just gamble in trust with his golfing skills that I think a lot of gamblers would love to do.

[Reid]

Perhaps there was a time when he just don't know what he will do with his money. 
I hope I could be at that same foot.

Online gambling? Hmmm, I doubt that will waste time for that and it is the gambling of the new era.
But, I also doubt this man could still think about that with his kids growing and then his cute six year old daughter is there.
He might be having the best time of his life.

Today he might even be playing blackjack to online casino. The gambling habits get worse when Covid19 starting locking us at home. More people are spending their time on Facebook, youtube, netflix, and online casinos.

When you become rich, you'll find ways where to spend your money. A rich man will even buy a banana art taped on the wall just to show  his wealth.
